Drain Dampness

Drain Dampness helps ease swelling, water retention, and that heavy, bloated feeling that often accompanies sluggish digestion or poor fluid metabolism. Whether due to travel, diet, illness, or seasonal changes, this formula works to support urinary flow and reduce puffiness in the limbs or abdomen.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this formula addresses “dampness” — a pattern of fluid accumulation that disrupts normal organ function. Drain Dampness clears excess water from the body while simultaneously strengthening the Spleen and warming the Kidney yang, which are essential for healthy fluid transformation and movement.

Based on the classic formula Wu Ling San, Drain Dampness combines diuretic and spleen-strengthening herbs that promote proper fluid elimination while supporting digestion. Alisma, polyporus, and poria help drain excess dampness through urination, while Atractylodes and cinnamon bark warm and invigorate digestive and kidney function, preventing further buildup.

This dual action—clearing excess and reinforcing function—makes it especially helpful in situations like jet lag, edema from illness, fluid-related headaches, or swelling associated with weather changes. It’s gentle enough for short-term use yet robust in addressing deeper imbalances in water metabolism.

Reach for Drain Dampness when you’re feeling bloated, heavy, or waterlogged—especially after travel, during times of poor digestion, or with seasonal changes that cause fluid retention. It may also be appropriate for chronic damp patterns affecting the urinary system, limbs, or abdomen. Best used between meals for optimal absorption.
